1 Ainsdale Close is a four-bedroom detached house in Stourbridge (DY8 2LN). It has a recorded floor area of 123 m² (around 1322 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1983-1990 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (February 2009) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would push it to C (score 74). The latest certificate is from February 2009, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since June 2009 — that's 17 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale fell during the post-crash dip, which often skews comparisons against later neighbouring sales. Sale prices here have lagged England HPI: -0.6% per year against 0% for the wider region. Today's modelled estimate of £482,000 is 42.9% above the 2009 sale price. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£255/sq ft) was about 23.5% below the postcode norm. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2017. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved.
